The aim of the programme is to help those in the field be aware of the most recent research and applications in this area. It will also enable those looking for an assessor to select from a list of practitioners with relevant accreditation. The programme will offer greater confidence and credence in work based assessment as the B.D.A. is independent. The Programme Timetable and Methods: 1. Training Workshops There are 4 training workshops available for participants in the programme to attend: Workshop A: Workshop B: Workshop C: Workshop D: Awareness of SpLDs (2 hours) and Coping Strategies (4 hours). Coping Strategies (continued) and Reasonable Adjustments. Screening for individuals with dyslexia. The process, stakeholders, roles and responsibilities, current case law. The programme is accredited through Credit 4 Learning (OCNOTC). 2. Membership of the BDA Individual membership of B.D.A. for one year is included in the programme. Assessors will receive Dyslexia Contact magazine, can network with other assessors through our web based discussion activities and get 10% off our training courses and conferences to aid their C.P.D. In future years, assessors will need to maintain their membership of B.D.A. to continue to receive the benefits of the programme. 3. Continuous Professional Development The programme will include a specific opportunity annually for C.P.D. for assessors.
